SUMMARY In the beginning I installed Kubuntu in spanish. Then I changed to english, so I can use the console output for documentation purposes. It works on GNOME with Wayland, but it fails on KDE Plasma, and it still print messages in spanish. Locale output: luis@starseedstation:~$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:es LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 And I think that should be enough, right? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Kubuntu in spanish. 2. Change the environment to english. 3. Run any command that prints a system output: sudo apt-get update OBSERVED RESULT luis@starseedstation:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] contraseña para luis: Obj:1 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease Ign:2 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease Obj:3 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu disco InRelease Obj:4 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu disco InRelease Obj:5 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable Release Obj:6 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco InRelease Obj:7 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-updates InRelease Obj:8 http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu disco InRelease Obj:10 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-backports InRelease Obj:11 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco-security InRelease Leyendo lista de paquetes...

Those two messages come from whatever terminal app you're running, Konsole just displays whatever the shell tells it to.
